Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘They treat construction and infrastructure as a speciality rather than as an add-on to a corporate or banking practice. As a result, their industry knowledge is second-to-none. As working with foreign counsel is something they do regularly they know foreign clients' requirements and are able to provide concise, directed advice on a timely basis which is not an ability shared by all Philippine law firms.’
‘Aris L. Gulapa is not only the best infrastructure lawyer in the Philippines but is also a delight to work with. Cheerful, commercial and responsive.’
